Jobs Report: U.S. Gains 215,000 Jobs In July; Unemployment 5.3%
(PK) ... Reagan’s objective achievements weren’t all that great. In terms of the economy, his record is trumped by Clinton’s on every front: GDP growth, job creation, family incomes.

Carter just had the bad luck to preside over a recession at the end of his term, while Reagan’s was at the beginning.
